Companions are small creatures that can act as pets to Mothcats and subspecies! The easiest ways to get companions are through Amity Park, the Companions Shop, as well as through events and quests. As a rule of thumb, companions must be smaller than the Mothcat or Subspecies they belong to. That means Mothkittens and Subspecies can only have tiny companions like insects.

Amity Park

1. Amity Park is a Mothcat Market feature that offers members the opportunity to "befriend" certain wild animals. These animals can act as companions for Mothcats.
2. Mothcats subspecies can also appear in Amity Park. They can be kept as standalone characters or companions to existing Mothcats.
3. Members can purchase Companion Bait using Flower Tokens to visit the park.
   • They will act as your tickets into the park. Without one, you won't be able to participate.
   • Bait can be purchased here.

1. Users must wait 24 hours after admin response to try for a companion again (this includes new companions and repeat tries for the same companion).
2. That means you can only try for one companion at a time, so choose wisely!
3. Check back frequently, because new companions may appear in the Open Field at any time!

Approaching Companions

1. Visit any Open Location on Amity Park to see if there are any wild animals in the area.
2. Click on any animals of interest to be taken to a stash file.
3. Comment on the file with the following form filled out:

Attracting Companions

1. Golden Acorinas allow you to "wish" for specific companions at the Path of New Beginnings.
   • Bait is NOT needed to use the Path of New Beginning.
   • While a Golden Acorina guarantees that a companion will appear, there is a small chance that it might be something other than what was "wished" for.
   • Companion whistle "accuracy" decreases the rarer/more mythical your wish is.
   • This includes “custom” companions that do not yet exist in the item database.
     • If the companion you wished for appears, you will receive a companion slot.
2. Florabuns and other subspecies cannot be attracted in this manner. This option is only for regular animal companions.
3. Go to Amity Park to use the feature.

Companion Slots

There are two types of companion slots: silver and gold. These slots are wildcard items that allow the user to have any kind of companion (custom or pre-existing) for use in the ARPG.

To activate the slot, visit the Inventory and Bank Kiosk and fill out this form:

Once the slot is activated by being attached to a Mothcat, the companion is locked. Removing the slot from that Mothcat's inventory will reset the slot and allow it to be reused.

Once a slot is removed, the former companion is no longer usable until another companion slot or same pre-existing companion is attached.

Custom Companions

Custom companions can be obtained by using companion slots as per the guidelines above.

All custom companions must be drawn by the user, a friend, or commissioned. Official Mothcats Artists are no longer responsible for drawing custom items.

The following artists have volunteered to draw custom items for members who cannot find anyone else to do so (this resource should be used as a last resort): fanface

Attaching/Releasing Companions

1. Amity Park offers the option to attach companions to their Mothcats or release them back into the wild by visiting the Path of New Beginnings.
2. Mothcat companions get very attached to their owners and there's a percent chance that they will choose to stay after being detached, returning to the member's inventory.
3. Companions who have been released back into the wild have a chance of appearing in Amity Park for others to approach.
4. Bait is not required to attach/release companions.
5. Go to Amity Park to use the feature.
